Chapter 142: Another Big Gamble (Part II)

"Say, if you let me accumulate Yin Virtue, why don't I agree. But how to accumulate the method? ”

"General Ding gave credit."

"Let the work?"

"Give Wang Quanbin all the great merit of suppressing the whole Shixiong."

"I still don't understand, why do I want to give up!"

"Not only do you want to give credit, but I also want to ask General Ding and Lu Xianggong to jointly write a letter to General Cao Liu and General Puzhou Kang in Jiazhou, and also ask them to give credit, otherwise this plague god will not be able to send away."

"Be clear."

Song Jiu told Cao Guangshi about it. Wang Quanbin, for fear of Cao Bin's meritorious service, insisted on putting Cao Guangshi under his account instead of giving Cao Bin. Cao Bin was also going crazy. Ding Deyu couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, "This is a mess." ”

"General Ding, I saw Guankou Village a few days ago, and it's not that it can't be broken, General Wang has failed to attack several times, and Guankou Village will not be heavily defended. If you break the Guankou Village in the blink of an eye, you and General Kang and General Cao cooperate with General Wang, and you can quickly wipe out the entire division's male subordinates. Let General Cao obey the command of General Wang, and General Wang will take Cao Guangshi as a guide, and he will be able to break the rebellion of Lu Han. Then Bashu will be pacified quickly, Bashu will be pacified, and General Wang will have to return to the court. As soon as he returned to the court, the people of Bashu were saved, and if he went back one day earlier, he didn't know how many people in Ludao were saved. ”

"Yes, boy, don't fool me, even if I agree, will Cao Bin agree?"

"If you don't try how to know, although I am a little Song Jiu, I am not a bad Song Jiu, with everything I have seen along the way, I will report it truthfully when I go back."

"Boy. Then you have completely offended Lao Wang. ”

"I don't know if I'm offended, but I know that I'm dreaming these nights. I often dream that hundreds of people in Bashu are crying out unjustly. ”

"You are still a woman's kindness, and there are those who fight and do not die."

"War kills people. You can see how to die. Besides, General Ding, Your Majesty is not a vicious emperor, doesn't this matter of Bashu take it as a warning? It's just that the problem is a little embarrassing and inconvenient to deal with now. Also, the Northern Han, the Southern Tang, and the Southern Han, that is either a great achievement, or the destruction of these countries, and there will be Khitan in the future. When the time comes, will His Majesty choose a general like Wang Quanbin or a general like Cao Bin? General Ding doesn't want to make meritorious service again? Think. Just listen to me, one accumulates yin virtue, and the other is more meritorious opportunities in the future, why not. ”

Ding Deyu walked around, and what Song Jiu said was not unreasonable.

That's all there is to it, but how many generals are there in the DPRK who can fight? There were at least thirty or forty tiger generals on the same level as themselves, walked a few steps, and asked, "You are from the capital, what is your majesty's attitude?" ”

"Your Majesty most appreciates what I said in the south. It is my Great Song soil, and all of them are my Great Song People, and they must be treated equally and regarded as brothers. ”

"Good. Boy, you moved me. ”

"General Ding, that's great. I'm here to thank you for the people of Bashu," Song Jiu almost cried like Lu Yuqing.

Stay in the barracks. There are Wang Quanbin's subordinates everywhere, don't mention that suffocation. Ding Deyu arrived and finally came out of the embarrassment.

"Don't thank you, let's talk about your plan first."

Song Jiu said Ji Lu, and Ding Deyu said: "Song Jiu, then you are equivalent to slapping the old king in the face." ”

"Yes, so I want to ask you to help General Kang, General Cao, and Lu Xianggong, so many people are in the field, even if they are slapped in the face, he has to accept it."

"You're not afraid that I'll be in cahoots with Lao Wang."

"What are you afraid of, I'm from Hunan, how you and General Pan and Wang Zhizhou treat the people well, I see it in my eyes, and I have also reflected it to His Majesty. If you are in cahoots with General Wang, then I am mistaken, and of course, I may not even survive tonight. However, for the sake of those innocent people, I will take this life on the line, and I believe that King Yama will give me a better afterlife. ”

It's not like it, what is the king of Yama, Song Jiu doesn't believe it. But this, Ding Deyu will believe.

Ding Deyu smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll go crazy with you." ”

The two found Wang Quanbin, and Song Jiu said: "Please General Wang send 5,000 soldiers and horses to protect me to go to Guan Kou Village in person and take a balloon to measure above." ”

Wang Quanbin is not stupid, Song Jiu doesn't say it in the morning or late, Ding Deyu only said it when he came, so he looked at Ding Deyu, Ding Deyu was also not stupid, and said: "Old Wang, don't look at me, this kid said just now that the East Route Army and the North Route Army are not in harmony, which is very bad." Therefore, I was persuaded and prepared to let me and Lu Xianggong persuade Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi, so that everyone could obey your dispatch and quickly solve the two divisions of Quan Shixiong and Lu Han, but His Majesty made up his wish. Lao Wang, are you really at odds with Lao Cao? ”

"Hahaha, Song Jiu, you are talking nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will also beat you with a hundred military staffs?" Wang Quanbin said happily, this discord is a public matter, but it is a good thing to be able to persuade Cao Bin, and his own credit will come.

Song Jiu Zhengse said: "General Wang, let's fight, the more I fight, the faster I will be promoted." Either beat me to death, that General Wang wouldn't dare, right? ”

"Yes, your master and apprentice have a virtue, and I don't reason with you."

"General Wang, restrain your subordinates."

"What do you know, no matter how restrained I am, I'm not afraid of another Lu Han, I'm not afraid of this truth when it comes to the edge of the sky."

Lu Yuqing snorted angrily when he heard it on the side.

"It's useless to fight, Song Jiu, don't talk nonsense, General Wang has made a great contribution this time. Lao Wang, you can send 5,000 elite soldiers to him, and end this mess as soon as possible, if you don't send it, I will send my men to him. ”

"Okay, Song Jiu, am I afraid of you?" Wang Quanbin said angrily. If it weren't for Song Jiu carrying the title of a lieutenant envoy, Wang Quanbin would have unloaded Song Jiu into eight pieces and pulled a horse with sixteen horses!

This measurement is not easy either.

Guankou Village is located on the bank of the Cangjiang River in the north, facing the southeast, facing the northwest, the side is the lofty mountains, itself leaning on the mountains and built, so the terrain is very treacherous. Song Jiu wants to take a hot air balloon, preferably with a southeast wind.

It's the first month of the year, and there is a southeast wind, but the wind is not strong, so you must place the hot air balloon not far from Guan Kou Village, then you will face the attack of the whole division's men. This is the reason why Song Jiu wants to lead 5,000 soldiers.

Without their protection, it is estimated that the front will be released. Later, let the whole division be captured alive. It is also necessary to measure its height and approximate width, which must be done until mid-afternoon. Measure the shadow of its walls to the side to calculate it.

Five thousand Song troops arrived. The rebels of Guankouzhai were in a panic, thinking that the Song army was going to attack Guankouzhai, and they began to guard against it together. Seeing the hot air balloon rise into the sky, no one cared. In fact, the hot air balloon Wang Quanbin has also been used several times, and he has some credit, at least more than gunpowder.

Two days later, Song Jiu returned to Yizhou with a large amount of data, and asked Lu Yuqing and Wang Renzhen to come forward and call Cao Bin, Liu Guangyi, Kang Yanze and Zizhou Feng Zan to discuss. Counsel is false. That is, let Lu Yuqing persuade these people, everyone give up grievances and hatred, follow Wang Quanbin's call, and quickly end the Bashu rebellion.

It's not easy.

Lu Yuqing's mouth was worn out, and a few people reluctantly agreed.

But Kang Yanze said: "I have to ask Song Jiu, if he has a way to destroy Guankou Village in the blink of an eye, we can cooperate." ”

"Okay," Lu Yuqing said as he wiped his sweat. This poor fact made him extremely miserable.

"Also, my men must be commanded by me. They are all children of Liangchuan, and they were handed over to Wang Quanbin, I can't rest assured, maybe he will kill them together again. ”

"Okay. You will transfer some of your manpower, and Cao Bin will allocate some of your manpower to attack Jintang. At least cut off the defeated army that fled from the rout of Guankou Village, and then divide the troops with Feng Tingshi to attack the enemy's Tongshan Division. Lu Yuqing said. That is, nominally obeying Wang Quanbin's command. In fact, they are still fighting on their own.

But he couldn't concentrate all his forces, Kang Yanze had to divide his troops to prevent Wang Keyi from counterattacking Puzhou City. Where does Cao Bin have to divide his troops to guard against Lu Han. Fortunately, Ding Deyu brought thousands of soldiers and horses, and the troops were enough.

Lu Yuqing brought Song Jiu over, Song Jiu looked at everyone, don't look at a large group of people sitting here chatting about family life, actually have their own thoughts. Song Jiu didn't care about this, he arched his hand and said: "I have seen General Wang, General Cui, Wang Xianggong, Lu Xianggong, General Cao, General Liu, Shen Zhuan, General Cao, General Ding, and other generals. ”

"Yes, you don't want to be a general, let's talk about it, can you break the mouth of the village!" Wang Quanbin said.

Shen Yilun also said: "Say it quickly, don't sell it." ”

This time, the generals of various departments were integrated together, but it took Boss Lu Yuqing's mind to twist it up, and he sent troops on the spot, otherwise after a few days, various contradictions would arise, and they would do their own things.

"Yes," Song Jiu looked at the large map behind him and said, "But once you act, you don't have to send troops quickly." can break through the Guankou Village, and you can take down the whole division with one blow. If it can't be broken, the troops will be scattered, and if Lu Han and Wang Keyi send troops to support each other, it will be easy to be broken by the division of troops, and the situation in Bashu will be even more erosive. When the time comes, if you don't need General Wang, Your Majesty will also behead me for public display. ”

Beheading to show the public may not be, and it may not be further erosive, but there is a possibility of erosion, Song Jiu will also be disposed of by Zhao Kuangyin, at least some of the official positions he finally got will be degraded.

It's a fact, and no one is silent.

Song Jiu said again: "The meritorious service must belong to General Wang, I can only play the role of a technical official in the middle, for the sake of the country, you also obey the command of General Wang, and the greatest credit is still General Wang." However, it failed, but I was alone. Therefore, I would like to make a small request. ”

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"General Wang, once the army moves, after taking the whole division, including General Cao, will also obey your command and quickly take Lu Han."

"Just say, what request?"

"Two requests, before the first army moves, please ask General Wang, Wang Xianggong and Lu Xianggong, as well as the generals, to sign together and erect this monument outside the city of Yizhou." Song Jiu handed a piece of paper to Wang Renzhen, after all, he was the chief supervisor of the army.

Wang Renzhen opened it and saw a strange limerick poem on it:

It is my great Song soil, and all my great Song people.

Your father is my father, and your mother is my mother.

I am responsible for the lack of clothing, and I will save the lack of food.

Everyone is the same brother, and the Song Dynasty is peaceful.

Regardless of the meaning of the poem, Wang Renzhen asked in surprise: "This is the poem you wrote?" ”

Song Jiu doesn't like it and can't write well, everyone knows that the Tao is not useless, at least the small orders he made are quite good. But is this poetry?

"It's not a poem, it's just for everyone to understand."

"What about the second request?"

Song Jiu handed over the second piece of paper and said, "Before setting out on the expedition, all the chief generals and officials signed and drew together, and then copied thousands of copies, each stamped with their own seal, and distributed them to the rebels and the people. ”

Wang Renzhen took it again and wrote a few articles:

When the fortress was broken, those who resisted were killed, and those who surrendered were removed from the first evil, and from then on they were not prosecuted and sent to their homes.

The officers and soldiers of those who surrendered and the officials of various localities must not abuse them on the grounds of previous events, let alone kill them without permission, otherwise they will be punished by thunder and thunder, and they will not be able to die a good death.

When those who surrendered and the displaced people returned to their homes, the officials of the prefectures and counties would distribute some relief materials to help them cultivate and rebuild their homes with peace of mind.

Wang Renzhen was silent and transferred the two pieces of paper to Wang Quanbin's hand, Wang Quanbin was furious after seeing it, and said, "Song Jiu, what do you mean?" ”

Slap in the face, and hit hard.

Song Jiu said unhurriedly: "If this battle is successful, General Wang will be the first to make the merit, and you also have some military merits, but what am I?" But if I lose, General Wang and you will definitely put the responsibility on me, and it is indeed my responsibility, so there is no need to push it. But how to suppress bandits, is it my duty? Why should I do anything else? In this way, anyway, I made a bet with General Wang, if I obeyed my arrangement, quickly took down the Guankou Village, the chaos in Bashu was suspended, and the people were saved from fire and water, and General Wang simply made my wish come true. If I am defeated, I don't need General Wang to pursue it, and I will not be on the bank of the Cangjiang River. Moreover, the wealth of Bashu should be taken captive, what is the benefit of General Wang's stay. Although my life is not valuable, as the two kings said, every hair I fall out of is glass, steel, high-priced vegetables, and countless copper smells. (To be continued......)
